BULLETS BY TELEPHONE.
Some Curious Experiments Made by Pro
feesor Bell

foesor Bell.
PATERSON, n. j., April 29.-Professor
Bell, the telephone inventor, is at present
on visit to Paterson as the guest of DR.. Eli
J. Marsh. This afternoon, in the pres
ence of number of prominent physicians
gathered at the residence of DR.. Marsh on
Market street on invitation of Professor
Bell, the Professor made number of very
important and interesting experiments
with the telephone in locating bullets in
parts of the body. The Professor had an
unusually good subject to conduct his
experiments with in the person of Adolph
CRUDE, saloon keeper, who about a
month ago made desperate attempt to
commit suicide while bordering on delir-
ium tremens.
CRUDE fired two balls into his head, and
was prevented from firing more by his
wife, who came on the scene at the time.
CRUDE is still living, to the surprise of the
doctors, and his two wounds in the head
have both healed up, and he experiences
no trouble whatever from the lead IN his
head. The doctors, when CRUDE first
shot himself, gave him a few days to live,
and he was removed to the Ladies' Hos
pital. CRUDE was kept there few days
in quietness, for the doctors said that it
was what he needed to prevent inflamma-
ton of the brain. CRUDE was not of that
opinion, and so he went home.
This afternoon Professor Bell located
one of the bullets and partly located the
other. Heretofore the physicians had
been unable to do this. The balls did not
enter the brain, but fiattened against the
skull. The Professor says that he is posi-
tive that he has got the position of the
second ball. The other he is not positive
about. The instrument used was an Or
binary earphone and small instrument
containing coil of wire, just what kind
the Professor would not say, nor would
he explain the mechanism of the little
instrument. This was passed over the
head and the earphone kept to the ear. AS
soon as the coil of wire passed over the
location of the balls curious noise was
detected, which was given out at no
other part of the head. The balls were
near the wounds.
After experimenting with Grube's era

How to Scare Snakes.

A gentlemen who recently returned
from the western coast c. Africa tells
how natives provide against tre dangers
of vcnomous snakes, which sbound in
those regions. ''i'hc Africans on the
coast" he said, "arc far more intelligent
than those in the interior. Just south Of
the Republic Of Liberia there is a large
swampy region which extends ;or hun
dreds of miles into the interior and for
many miles along the coast. Whenever
it is deemed necessary to penetrate this
vast morass, which ihou:ds in snakes, the
natives simply rub the soles of their feet
with garlic and oil. The scent OF the gar
lie is too much for the delicate stoma h of
the reptiles, and they crawl away us fast
as they are able. This insurcs almost ab-
solute safety. The boa-constrictor even
hesitates TO attacks man smelling of
this odorilcrous vegetable. Another
method employed by the natives when
they wish 70 ST to les. is t. swish the air
with rods. The peculiar noise OF the rod
seems to inspire the serpents with terror,
Tor they has;cn away out of hearing of the

DOurh for Poultry.

Every one, of course, feeds to his flock
more or less corn or oat meal made into a
dough. But some make the great mis-
take of mixing with it so much water as
to give it the consistency of a thin,
slushy paste, at once difficult to pick up
with their delicate pointed bills, and i'm
peding digestion by weakening the di-
gestive fluids with too much moisture.
Corn meal, especially. should have just
enough hot water poured over it to mois-
ten and partially swell the minute parti-
cles and cause them to fall apart rather
than adhere to each other. The rich
yellow mass is then ready to be taken up,
and not only aids in digcsting the other
contents Of the crop and gizzard, but
keeps the bowels in good order, and
should not be omitted as portion Of
each days mess, except in case of acute
internal disease. 1t should not consti-
tute the entire grain food of fowls, as our
maize yields so much oil as to incline
growing fowls and laying hens to put on
too much fat.--Poahry World.

Vegetarians.

There arc large number of would-be
vcgctarians in st. Louis, men who have
tried the experiment of living without
animal food, and who found the mental
and physical effect so excellent that moth
ing but the force of circumstances could
induce them to return to such barbarism
as beef, mutton and pork eating. They
arc mostly, like myself, from the East,
and found little difficulty there in getting
substantial health preserving vegetable
food. Here, however, it is different.
The popular fallacy that yegctarians live
on potatoes and cabbage has little fourda-
tion in fact, as they require made dishes
just the same as other people. 1t is very
strange that there are no exclusively
vegetarian restaurants in the city. All
the cities in the Eastern States and Ill
Europcan countries are well provided in
this respect, and there is money to be
made out of high class eating house
catering to those who object to animal
food altogether, or who think hcefsteak

Blight in Fruit Orchards.

One of the most formidable diseases to
which fruit trees are liable is the ''hre
blight" 1t attacks the trees at different
periods of the growing season, from June
to September, and generally the young
parts first. The leaves flag, the sap
oozes out in globules through the bark
and has disagreeable odor, and the dis
eased branch turns black, as if it had
been buried by fire. When the pear
tree is attacked it is difficult matter to
save it, the disease spreads so rapidly.
In apple and ounce trees 1t is less fatal,
rarely killing more than portion of the
tree.
Scientists and farmers alike differ in
their opinions rs to what causes fire
blight, whether it be the sun, the at
mosphere or an insect. Nor do authori
tiles in the matter agree in their treatment
of fire blight. In the opinion of the
writer the only effective and trustworthy
treatment is to cut away, the very day the
disease is discovered, the blighted parts
into the healthy wood where there is no
trace of the disease, and burn up imme-
diately all the diseased portions cut off.
Charles Downing said: "When fire
blight has actually appeared, the only
remedy seems to be the knife and the saw
most vigorously applied, to eradicate
every symptom of diseased and discolored
bark or wood. If you would save your
tree, cut at once on the first apparent
symptom of the disease, and be sure you
cut it clean out" P. Barry says: "The
only remedy for fire blight is to cut in
stantly the blighted parts into the
healthy wood and burn them up immc-
diately."
Twig blight attacks the young shoots
of the current seasons growth and causes
these to wither and become brown and
curly in midsummer. The cause is un-
certain and the injury is not materially
great. The remedy is cutting away at
the first appearance OF the trouble.
Apple blight, like the dreaded fire
blight, is serious disease. 1t attacks
whole branch or limb, and sometimes
half of the top of tree is destroyed be-
fore it becomes apparent to an ordinary
observer. Again there is no remedy ex-
cept to cut away the diseased portions
anu uuTn tHcsc up. lHc lcdi-icdl pllSHe
is sort of blight that appears on the
leaves during July and August, first in
small brown spots. These spots spread
rapidly over the leaves until their growth
is stopped. TO avoid the evil effect of
leaf blight the great point is TO get a
rapid, vigorous growth before midsum-
mer.
Readers, especially those having small
experience, will doubtless be disappointed
because long list of so-called remedies
has not been given for blight-rcmcdics
such as ere advised from year to year by
many writers. These have been avoided
because there is in reality but one course
to pursHc-tnc heroic one Of cutting away
the diseased parts and destroying them

Swine as Weed d-EradicatOrs.

Colonel F. D. Curtis, Charlton, N. Y,
tells the Elmira HusJandmGn he has
known an acre of liveforever to bc ex-
terminated by one seasons efforts of
hogs; and they are equally effective
against other persistent plants that
cumber the ground:
1.-THE best way is to fence off all spots
infested with noxious weeds hard to kill,
and turn in hogs. Shelled corn should
be scattered about to induce them to
root, and they should not be fed so much
but that they will have keen appetites.
The little puggy breeds are good for
nothing as reformed. Mr.. Hoffman has
a breed that is genuine. They take
naturally to natures food and will thrive
on grass and roots. Wild morning glory
can be eradicated in the same way, and l
have no doubt quack also. 1t has very
sweet root and if the hogs are pinchcd a
little on the start, until they got taste,
they would also destroy the quack. If
the ground be too hard it should be
ploughed, and corn scattered about.
Hogs will also eat the roots of Canada
thistlcs, as they are quite sugary. The
good things hogs will do, when they have
a chance, have never all been told. They
are really very important part of the
farm and its outfit. l make my Durco-
Jerseys useful in Kidding the farm OF
weeds and in enriching the fields in turn.
They also aid in making up the balance

The Care of Linen.

One of the most important departments
in household management is the care OF
the linen. 1t is not enough to see that
it is we'll washed and ironed; it must
be first looked over, broken places mended
and stains removed. After it has come
from the hands cf the laundress it
must be put carefully away to secure 1t
from the moisture of the atmosphere
which will cause it TO wrinkle, or from
insects which may destroy it. A judi
cious mixture of aromatic leaves or shrubs
cut up and sewn in bags or sprinklcd in
the closet or drawer where the linen is
will keep out most insects. Rosemary,
lavender, thyme, cedar shavings, rose
leaves, powdered sassafras and cassia
may be used separately or together for
this purpose In all cases it will be found
that linen will be cconomised by being
examined and where necessary carefully
repaired previous to being put into the
wash. 1t is a good plan to have table
linen numbered so that each piece may
have its regular turn in domestic use. If
linen is scorchcd-as is frequently the
case in doing it appropriated applica-
tions of mixture OF vinegar, the juice
of an onion, little soap rasped down, a
tablespoonful of filters earth, little
soda, boiled together and laid on the
scorched place pretty thick and allowing
it to dry on. will remove the scorch unless
the fibre of the texture has been injured.
Linen scorchcs more easily than cotton
goods and laundresses should bear this
in mind.

Useful Hints.

TO clean spice mill grind handful
of raw rice through it.
Flour should always be siftcd just be.
fore you wish to use it.
Stains on the windows can be removed
by using diluted spirits of salts.
A gridiron should always be heated
before putting meat on it to broil.
To extinguish the flames from kcro-
sene use flour profuscly upon them.
Corncd beef is q meat that should be
used with caution in the summer months.
To remove grease from coat collars and
the glossy look from the elbows and
seams rub with cloth dipped in am
monia.
To kill moths in carpet wet cloth
with camphor, spread it out on the car
pet, where moths ale thought to be, and
with hot lion send the steam FROM the
wet cloth iato the carpet; this will not
injure the pile of the carpet. 1t is ncces-
sary to destroy the moths rs well as the
eggs.
